In anticipation of our new baby boy's upcoming delivery we moved Noah and Juliana in to the same room. It hasn't been a completely smooth transisiton as you might imagine. Oh, they're both excited about being in the same room, but they are more interested in playing than sleeping when bedtime comes. Noah sleeps with the light off normally (and plays when it's on), Juliana sleeps with the light on normally (and cries hysterically when it's off). Solution? We got a very dim nightlight and the last two nights have gone much much better. I'm sure this is just the beginning of the concessions and sacrifices they'll both be making for their little brother. :)
Here is a picture of Juliana as we found her in the middle of the night shortly after we moved her from her crib to her "big bed." It took me awhile to find her actually...when she was nowhere else to be found, I looked under her bed. :)
I also wanted to share one of our new family traditions with you. Noah and Juliana got to decorate Christmas cookies with thier "Da" (My mom) and they left them out for Santa. "Santa" ate the cookies and left a note. I plan to leave a note every year for them as a response and kind of a year end summary of thanks and praise for their good behavior and attitudes.
